FFmpeg support

A complete, cross-platform solution to record, convert and stream audio and video.

Detailed introduction: https://www.ffmpeg.org

Install FFmpeg

Download first FFmpeg from here, then install it:

./configure --disable-all --disable-autodetect --disable-podpages --disable-asm --enable-avcodec --enable-avformat --enable-decoders --enable-encoders --enable-demuxers --enable-parsers --enable-protocol='file' --enable-swscale --enable-zlib
make
sudo make install

Add FFmpeg to your project

Add library: FFmpeg (for GCC: -lavformat -lavcodec -lavutil -lswscale -lm -lz -lpthread)

Usage

Enable LV_USE_FFMPEG in lv_conf.h.

See the examples below.

note:: FFmpeg extension doesn't use LVGL's file system. You can simply pass the path to the image or video as usual on your operating system or platform.

Events

LV_EVENT_READY Sent when playback is complete and auto-restart is not enabled.
